Processing Tips and Techniques
• For a uniform consistency when
chopping, leave room in the bowl for
the food to be tossed around.
• Also for a more uniform consistency,
start with pieces of food that are
similar in size. Carrots, for example,
should all be cut in 1-inch (2.5-cm)
chunks. Do not process 4-inch (10-cm)
pieces with
1
⁄
2
-inch (1-cm) pieces.
• This food processor is excellent to
chop, mix, slice, or shred most
foods. However, to maintain peak
performance, do not use your food
processor for the following: grinding
grain, coffee beans, or spices; slicing
frozen meat; or crushing ice.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes. They will
be overprocessed in a second and
turn gummy.
• Operating time will depend on quantity
of food being processed. Most foods
can be sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. Do not operate processor
for more than 1 minute at a time. If
processing large quantities, let the
processor rest about 1 minute before
continuing.
• Do not make bread dough or cookie
dough in this food processor. It may
damage the unit.
